Note
The meeting of the UN Committee on Information got off to a roaring start. The new chair from Oman Chair told the committee that she wants the committee to have an excellent "exchange of views." Unfortunately, that's not what she values in her own backyard. The UN Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information highlighted their successful Palestinian journalists' training program (in how to slander). The G-77 states (130 countries) reinforced the message by instructing the UN that the "special information program on Palestine" was a priority. The UN staff was also proud of its new "UN Kids" program and children's tour of UN Headquarters - the brainwashing starts early. Cuba complained that UN press releases were "excessively long" - ie they don't want their lies reported. And our "ally" Pakistan contributed this to the UN Information Committee: "freedom of expression must not be abused."
